Washing out a heavy oiling...please respond!

[Kaya]

Ok, I have one simple question. Has anyone used clarifying shampoo/conditioner to wash out a heavy oiling?
I have been wondering this, cause I normally clarify once a week, and then on a separate day, do a heavy oiling which requires CWC, typically with non-cone products.
The only issue I have with these shampoo days (I normally CO) is that I tend to shed quite a bit, and doing it one day after another, I get paraniod that I'm shedding too much.
So, I'm hoping, maybe I can combine the two and just wash out the heavy oiling with clarifying shampoo. :hmm:
Would this be OK, or completely defeat the purpose and effects of a heavy oiling?

I wash heavy oilings out best with CO, but oiling briefly raises my shed rate regardless.

Any help? :lol:

Also, would you please make the font you use in your posts slightly bigger? I find it hard to read. Thanks!

I find that WO can even be enough to remove a heavy oiling of a light oil for me, but for EVOO I typically need a shampoo of some sort.

If you diluted your shampoo a bit before washing I don't think it'd negate the effects of the oiling too much.. but I'm not 100% sure.

I have used a clarifying/ anti-buildup shampoo to remove a heavy oiling - really heavy because it was part of a caramel treatment. But the only reason I used that shampoo was because it was what I had on hand.

I am wondering why you clarify once a week, if you are otherwise washing with non-cone products.

You know, now that I think about it, I'm not exactly sure...Probably cause I'm weird. :crazyq: I used to SLS shampoo and condition every single day before I joined the community, so switching to CO only kinda jolted my routine. I do occasionally use Aussie 'cone products. I guess I have some whacked-out notion that doing a weekly clarifying wash will help clean my hair and scalp of any build-up from my daily oiling and CO. I just like that squeaky clean feel regularly. I know, I have some nuerosis to get over...I swear I'm working on them. :wacko:

I wouldn't clarify once a week either -- I will clarify only if I'm noticing some issues, so it's rare for me to even feel the need. Why be any rougher than necessary with your hair?
